Can you let me know when you will be returning to sports coverage so I can go back to checking in once or twice per day? I have a lot to do today at work and all of these posts about non-sports topics are distracting because I Must Read Every Single One of Them. Whereas with the sports stuff I really only care if its…

He was liberal in the 90s the way a lot of men in the 90s were: in a way that still let them tell women who and what they should be.

I absolutely LOVED listening to Loveline as a kid, not just for the puerile comedic reasons, but for the seeming educated care both Dr. Drew and Carolla seemed to have for their callers…

They have been going after high schools students too, if those students have the nerve to talk publicly about how they would prefer not to be shot to death in their schools. Hell, that environmental activist girl looks like she’s in middle school and they are totally willing to attack her. Remember, “conservatives”…

Have you ever heard about those devices that emit horrible sounds only young people can hear to keep them out of public spaces at night? Its like Fox News figured out the opposite of that, some kind of horrible signal that only attracts and makes sense to old brains losing their connection to reality. 

The thing about this: man am I fucking tired of conservatives using colleges and college students as a bugaboo. Do college students say some stupid shit? Yes, and I thought the same when I was one (and I include myself). But the thing about college students, that which defines their very existence, is that they have…

Number one, look up the paradox of tolerance. You know not of which you speak.

Number two, omg guyzz, when is the last time we had such a pure, concentrated dose of crazy around here? It’s been a while, right? Just like old times. *nostalgic sigh*

For a dark time, Prager U ads were playing before every video I watched. I don’t know if Youtube thought I was an asshole or just wanted me to suffer.

“Hate Speech” must be as protected as free speech. If we cannot be tolerant of differing points of view, then we are not truly tolerant.

When my wife and I were dating in college, there was a guy in our dorm who took a knee-jerk anti-feminist position on any subject related to gender. One time as he was going on about something (I don’t remember details), my wife pointed out that his central point was actually feminist, and he was refuting himself with…

I would personally like to see the statistics on “violent crimes perpetrated by masked vigilantes over pronoun use.”

““unlikely friendship””

Based on what I’ve seen of I can’t imagine how Adam Carolla and a conversative douche could be seen as an unlikely friendship. 

Ignoring for a moment the seemingly magical connection between learning more about how the world works and becoming more liberal, conservatives are under-represented on college campuses because their entire culture involves amassing a fuckton of personal wealth and power. Universities are (in theory) supposed to be…

(Corolla’s basically a libertarian atheist)

There’s also the entire issue with bad faith arguments.

Jimmy Kimmel is proof that despite a lot of data points saying otherwise, adult humans are capable of growth and an increase in empathy as they get older and more wealthy.

To be fair, these assholes aren’t whining because “life has a liberal bias”, but because higher education, like unions, do function as important progressive institutions. Conservatives have been hammering at them for decades now, because anything that helps liberals learn, get organized and fight back is an impediment…

I’ve been teaching/TA-ing at the college level for the past 6 years, and I’ve received precisely one trigger-warning request (which was reasonable), zero demands to create a safe space, and zero complaints from conservative students who felt that their “free speech” was being stifled. And yes, I did have openly…

Given that this stuff is everywhere, it’s a weak argument—the marketplace of ideas is sorting itself out, just not in the direction Prager and Carolla would like.

“Horton, Here’s a Poo!”
